Sticking to a regular silo inspection schedule with a trusted professional silo inspection company pays for itself. Regular silo inspections are one of the best ways to help prevent production delays, regardless of the industry. Wait too long to have your silo inspected and minor problems can turn into serious structural issues in what feels like the blink of an eye.

 

When it comes to the proper intervals for silo inspections, best practices recommend professional inspections at two- to five-year intervals to help identify any issues that could lead to silo failure. While a professional silo inspection is a great first step, it's important to ensure any necessary maintenance, restoration, and repair identified in the inspection report is followed through on. To minimize downtime and further reduce production delays, silo inspections can be bundled with other silo services. Full-service companies are able to provide inspections, silo cleanings, and often repair services in one mobilization so you can get things up and running again as soon as possible.

 

Scheduling your silo inspection at the same time as your silo cleaning also means the inside of the silo structure, including roof beams and beam pockets, cones, floors, shelves and tunnels, can be examined for signs of wear or damage. This helps you get the most for your money and can minimize downtime and expense while ensuring your silo continues to operate safely and efficiently for years to come.
